Logic and Automata
Computer Science is founded on logic and abstract machines (automata) to solve computational problems. Whether a computational problem is tractable in the first place or not, requires, for example, understanding of what Turing machines are, and of concepts such as decidability, reducibility and the halting problem. In this module, you will be introduced to formal methods for specifying and analysing the behaviour of computational systems, through studying algorithms and proof calculi for verification, as well as associated techniques, such as propositional and predicate logic and comparing the semantics of a variety of logics. In addition to learning about the basic connections between mathematical logic, formal languages, automata theory and verification by model checking, you will also learn and practise proof techniques for reasoning about the limits of various computational models.

Linear Algebra
The branch of maths treating simultaneous linear equations is called linear algebra. The module contains a theoretical algebraic core, whose main idea is that of a vector space and of a linear map from one vector space to another. It discusses the concepts of a basis in a vector space, the dimension of a vector space, the image and kernel of a linear map, the rank and nullity of a linear map, and the representation of a linear map by means of a matrix. These theoretical ideas have many applications, which will be discussed in the module. These applications include: Solutions of simultaneous linear equations. Properties of vectors. Properties of matrices, such as rank, row reduction, eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Properties of determinants and ways of calculating them.

Calculus 1/2
Calculus is the mathematical study of continuous change. In this module there will be considerable emphasis throughout on the need to argue with much greater precision and care than you had to at school. With the support of your fellow students, lecturers and other helpers, you will be encouraged to move on from the situation where the teacher shows you how to solve each kind of problem, to the point where you can develop your own methods for solving problems. By the end of the year you will be able to answer interesting questions like, what do we mean by `infinity’?
Read more about these modules, including the methods of teaching and assessment (content applies to 2024/25 year of study):
Sets and Numbers
Mathematics can be described as the science of logical deduction - if we assume such and such as given, what can we deduce with absolute certainty? Consequently, mathematics has a very high standard of truth - the only way to establish a mathematical claim is to give a complete, rigorous proof. Sets and Numbers aims to show students what can be achieved through abstract mathematical reasoning.

Introduction to Probability
This module takes you further in your exploration of probability and random outcomes. Starting with examples of discrete and continuous probability spaces, you will learn methods of counting (inclusion-exclusion formula and multinomial coefficients), and examine theoretical topics including independence of events and conditional probabilities. You will study random variables and their probability distribution functions. Finally, you will study variance and co-variance and famous probability theorems.
Year Two
Combinatorics
In this module you learn the basics about discrete structures that lie at the heart of many real-world problems. A key notion is that of a graph, which is an abstract mathematical model for a network, such as a street network, a computer network, or a network of friendships. You learn to argue about these structures formally, and to prove interesting theorems about them. This will train your ability to think outside of the box.
